A Surprise Trip to Berlin

So, it's John's 30th birthday today (happy birthday, John!) and, as a surprise, I organized a weekend away to Berlin. Here we are enjoying a pre-flight meal at Cafe Rouge (it was the best that Gatwick could offer, unfortunately) while watching planes prepare for takeoff.

It was an amazing trip: Berlin is possibly the coolest city I've ever been to, in every sense of the word. At one point, I said to John that I could totally move there - and I meant it. It's like all the cool parts of London featured in one, centralized area - but with friendlier people and terrific architecture.
